In her early twenties, Christie Watson was convinced she'd found her soulmate, in a glowing flash of light that turned out to be a tealight setting her quilt on fire. Twenty years later, her bed is burning once again...as she wakes in a perimenopausal sweat, night after night. This is the story of her journey through midlife: of the joy of letting gow and the pain of the moring after, of the unstoppable power of female friendship and the struggle to raise teenagers as a single parent. It lays bare the exhiliration, agony, wonder and fears of being a middle-aged woman with a wild heart, a changing body and a new set of challenges. And as her world takes on a different shape, there's something else she starts to feel: the hot flush of possibility.
